"Elon Musk Foundation" Spam!?! Signed by Elon Reeve Musk himself?

This is an obvious one, but watch out people, don't fall for it! It doesn't make any sense to begin with and the sender's actual email address is garbarled and ends with a Japanese country identifier.  Have a look folks and try not to laugh:

Dear Lucky One,

I hope this message finds you well. This is Elon Reeve Musk, CEO of Tesla and founder of the Musk Foundation. Since its inception in 2002, the Musk Foundation has supported initiatives in renewable energy, space exploration, pediatric research, science and engineering education, and the advancement of safe artificial intelligence for humanity’s benefit.

Receive an email with subject: Fwd: [9]?

No idea who the sender is. From Russia? WTF. Never heard of any of the cc'd recipients either. And of course there is a link in the email with no accompanying text. Must be an attempt to get you to cough up some info after the click and, or as soon as you click your machine will be planted with a trojan like virus that could compromise your information or use your machine's resources for illegitimate purposes.

Don't fall for "USPS Delivery Status Notification" (USPS.com) phishing spam, scam

These emails are annoying because at first glance they seem legitimate vis a vis the subject line, "Delivery Status Notification." And the snippet: "USPS.com notification." But look at the sender: Logistics Services, and that is the first hint of a spam/scam. Then look at the sender's actual email address: item_56@tjspartakprerov.cz. Czech sender re. a United States Post Office delivery? WTF. But who knows where the email really originated. Phishy!

Important Alert for Monday - Must read (OTCQB: MEDA)

On a quiet Sunday afternoon we have received an "Important Alert for Monday - Must read" email concerning ticker MEDA on the OTCQB. So we are told. Just from that we have the telltale signs of a stock spam campaign. Caveat emptor.
